Cecil Presley wrote a sympathy message

“To the Family of Fred Gordon Jr: My name is Cecil Presley and I was privileged to have been on the same track team at Howard U as Fred. I am so sorry to heard of the passing of Fred. I know your hearts are sadden, but I am sure he is at peace. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May the Lord give you the fact that although he is physically absent, he is with each of the family members for forever. Again, may God continue to watch over the entire family, Cecil Presley”

Tyrone Malloy wrote a sympathy message

“Wow, I know that life on this earth is transient, but Fred was a particular person who exemplified how poignant that time can be. I was his teammate at Howard, and he made running track not just a sport but how athletics and education can blend to be one. Seeing him at the Hall of Fame ceremony brought back memories of what is missing in today's college athletics. It wasn't about winning the race, but about winning the admiration of what that sport did for your life.”

Bill Ritchie wrote a sympathy message

“I am Bill Ritchie, Captain of the 1969 Howard University Track and Field Team of which Fred was a member. Fred was our long-distance runner and was an inspiration to watch. Fred was inducted with the team into the Howard University Sports Hall of Fame during November 2018. Below is a YouTube link highlighting the ceremony. Rest in Peace Hall of Famer.”
